Survivor: Rome- Fans Vs Favorites 2 is the twenty-fifth season of the Survivor Wiki's Online Reality Game (ORG), Survivor: Wikia!

Deep in controversy, much like its predecessor Madagascar, Rome was the second season to have the fans vs. favorites format. Rome was heavily criticized for the early eliminations of some favorites and the rigging rumors that plagued the season, however, due to the interesting characters and the strong strategic gameplay among the players, Rome has been often seen as one of the best post-Salvation seasons.

Redemption Colosseum: When voted out, two contestants will go to Redemption Colosseum to compete in duels. The loser is eliminated from the game each round. After a certain amount of Tribal Councils, the last person left will re-enter the game.

Changes

This season instead of sending their confessionals, challenge scores, votes and idol plays to a season email, like in past season, this season started the use of confessional threads on Facebook, where each individual contestant had a chat created for them. In this chat, is where they submitted their confessionals, challenge scores, votes and idol plays for the duration of the season.

In Episode 6, Ricky did not attend tribal council due to winning the duel and not participating in the immunity challenge.
